Planet Raiding / Conquering

[Armageddon]

The changes made this round to planets are good.. But there is a room for improovement especially in attacking / Conquering..


At the moment there is no consideration for plant attacking, Ranked 1 player can attack Rank 50  player's planet who is 1/10th of his power and can easily conquer his planet... which will result in the other guy's many days of efforts into waste.. The losses for Rank 1 player would be almost 0 considering his FP but for rank 50 player this could be 75%..

Although attacking is good and gives edge in PvP but there need to a safty nate for lower FP guys..

My suggestion is as follows..

1 - High total fleet power attacker attacking lower FP player's planet (below 80% FP) should get a penalty (att / def) reduction during attacking/conquering. The penelty should not be reduced by any commander bonuses.. also the penalty should depend on the difference in the FP of attacker / Defender..

For ex - Player X attacking player Y who is 50% of his FP, is 30% of the FP range.. So attacker X can have 30% penalty on his attacks / conquer..


This will ensure a fair play for both... If the attacker is ready to deal with higher losses then he can have planet...

This suggestion is in line with the recent changes done by Emi for attacking other players only from 80-200% FP..


2 - if a player looses his planet to other player, he can salvage atleast 25% of segments he spend on that planet..


3 - There should be some limit to attack and conquer attaempts per days...  for instance 3 attack and 2 conquer attempts per day.


I really think the first suggestion is very good for ensuring fair play.

ah.. i dont agree... you could change ur planet into prototype lvl 5 or so very easy, but you want quick easy cred  so you go for a gaia with a big combat penalty

actually, as much as i think it would suck if i spent a lot of money and CP and resources into making a planet only for it to be conquered...limiting an attacking player is unrealistic.

Just like how in another sugguestion the not being able to undo reserach is like "trying to forget how to do math", the point of being strong is so you CAN go about conquering stuff...otherwise...what's the point?  You want to become super powerful so you can have a penalty for attacking other people?  Not very realistic

The preceeding statement will probably come back to haunt me later in the game

 Skrymir --

If you talking about realistic, then in rality whats stopping 1Tril FP guy attacking 10B Fp guy... Nothing.. But the rule still states you cannot attack anyone below 805 of your FP unless you reserve the extra ships..

This feature is to make game more fairer and to incraese participation... The same can be used on planets with different technique and combat penalty can be used to make it fairer..


Cam -

this is not just for Gaia planets, the same applies for other planets also... Even with 100% combat bonus, a ranked 50 player wont be able to do anything with Ranked 1 player...

[Skrymir]

well i was kinda thinking about WARS where the point is PvP, and since you can already attack higher players and get away with it, putting another penalty for being powerful seems kinda harsh (this btw is coming from someone who ISNT powerful on WARS and not that powerful on main)

[Armageddon]

lol Skrymir...

You really dont know who i am... So keep your big mouth shut if you dont have any suggestions...

I dont even mind the current planet raiding/attacking, it will be much better for me next round...

AND

Who in right sense of his mind will attack a player who is double his FP and has much stronger ships and much more marines... UNLESS HE IS AN ALTERNATE OF SOME OTHER PLAYER AND JUST WANTED TO HIT SAME GUY...

But That will be against Rules for this game...
